[Python-modules-team] Bug#904201: "_static" or "static"

[Osamu Aoki]

control: severity -1 wishlist

Hi,

The current /usr/bin/dh_sphinxdoc uses a hard-coding path name which is
a bad idea.

dh_sphinxdoc should look for all the paths listed in a list:
 html_static_path = ['_static']
in conf.py what ever the directory names are.  That should be the
default behavior.

If a document build system performs non-standard renaming with intrusive sed script
changing html file as reported in this bug report, it's not a business
of dh_sphinxdoc to guess what the packaging script did.  So suggested
fix by the original bug reporter is non-optimal solution.

What we need is:
  * Good default:  Use pasts listed in html_static_path 
  * Customizable:  Add a feature to customize search path name via
                   command line option

This is a feature request.  So wishlist.

Osamu
